E’s Favorite Books - Age 16 months

Posted on May 6, 2014 By Michelle W. tips and tricks

Elizabeth LOVES to read. Whether it’s while sitting in my lap or on the floor by herself, if she’s being quiet chances are she’s with a book. There’s are her current favorites:

Hop on Pop. All day, every day. I actually have to hide it from her every few hours so I can get a break! We also have it as a small board-book, which is an abbreviated version of the classic that we keep in the car.

My Little World Book. This one she rarely asks me to read; rather she will sit and flip through it on her own many times a day. It has real-life photographs, versus drawings, which I think holds her attention better than illustrations.

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. We have the giant board-book version, and I think she enjoys the vivid colors more than anything. I point out each of the letters as I say their name.

My Huggable Bible. We read this once a day together, and I’ll often find her flipping through the pages on her own, too. The wool-like cover makes it easy to grasp and makes it stand out on the shelf.

It’s Pajama Time. Ok, this one is a ‘mama favorite’ too! It’s so catchy and the illustrations are just precious. I recite it to Elizabeth frequently through out the day and she dances in place to the rhythm of the story.

Goodnight Moon. Another giant board-book classic with easy-to-turn pages that Elizabeth enjoys having read to her.
